My laptop has a 64-bit AMD chip without virtualization, and VirtualBox works fine. Without hardware virtualization, IMHO, VirtualBox is probably the better solution.

VirtualBox does not support 64-bit guest OS's when hardware virtualization is not enabled. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@xxxxxxx> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
